Edinburgh council facing court battle over new short-term let rules

A court battle over new rules for short-term lets in Edinburgh is set to get underway as operators claim the council has overreached itself.

Holiday let hosts have crowd-funded £300,000 to bring a judicial review against Edinburgh City Council's new licensing scheme which they say could 'wipe out' Airbnb-style accommodation in the capital.

The hearing will kick off at the Court of Session in Edinburgh on Thursday morning (May 11).
